android 2.2 lockscreen will be used?
thanks in advance
Just delete HTCLockscreen.apk in /system/app/

Doing that breaks the alarm clock.
If you wanna do that you also need to delete WorldClock.apk and use the one I've attached instead.
Push it to /system/app using adb.

so i removed friendstream.apk because of forcecloses and htcfacebook for sense i got the apks from a stock rom and used root explorer to mount and paste the files into the /system/app folder so theyre there, but i dont see the apps or widgets but when i try to install them using the app manager on android it says its already installed, any ideas? thanks!
im using damage control 3.2.3 with a custom kernel for damage control 3.7.1, thanks!
Leave them on your sd card and then try installing them using your file explorer.

when pusing them to /system/app with root explorer you have to change the permissions of each app you copy over (hold select the app and choose change permissions) i just check off all of the permissions thingys
when pushing through adb it does that automatically
hope that helps
the default ones are all can read and user can write plus read
Thread moved to Q&A.
yea i checked all the permissions and used adb before and still not showing up, lol really frustrating
any ideas guys, really miss friendstream lol
An easy way to fix permissions is through ROM manager.
Download it in the market and select fix apk permissions.
That might do the trick..
Don't forget to reboot.
yea tried that doesnt work, really weird
Very strange, did you try an adb install? Rather than push..
Has anyone gotten the Google News and Weather Widget working with MIUI? I always get a force close. I'm on the 1.2.11 version of MIUI.
Thank you.
Im on 1.2.25 and it works fine. I just had to use root explorer to copy it to the system/apps and then adjust the permissions to the same as the other files in that folder. Once I did that I rebooted and I was able to use it.

Hi,
i just tried with the geniewidget.apk file, and set to chmod 644 like the other apps under /system/app, but I still get a force close. Maybe a bug in 1.2.11? I'm not willing to switch version for this one widget though...
I did try to reboot.
Would you mind posting your apk file so I can try?
I really like Sense but i hate the fact that it doesn't support Landscape mode. Today i found this thread and i managed to decompile the Rosie.apk with APK manager
I found the code what needs to be changed and changed it in Notepad++ following the turorial. Then i recompiled it again with APK manager without signing it and pushed the newly created Rosie.apk on my phone with Root Explorer to System/Apps(did the R/W remount offcourse)
BUT! when i restarted the phone it is stuck at bootanimation for about 10 minutes. Then i got my "homescreen". however it was a black screen with the notification bar...
Now my question. Could someone try to follow that tutorial and make a Rosie.apk wat won't give a black homescreen.
The notification bar was turned over in landscape mode by sensor!!
So could someone give me a working Rosie.APK or explain me what i did wrong and the method to fix it...
I would appreciated! + it will be awesome to have landscape in froyo sense
help..... anybody!?
Try using adb/apk manager to push it back to your phone.
Root explorer always gives me problems pushing files to /system, I don't quite understand the whole permissions thing yet but did you change them?
I'm on cm7 though so can't try to do it for you without reflashing.

thank you! i did'nt try by adb push and ik think if i find the time tomorrow i will try this. could it be that it is a recompile issue?
I used root explorer to push my systemui.apk and framework-Res.apk to my system folder last night and managed to get it to work first time, the way I did it was like this:-
My new file was named newsystemui.apk which let me copy it into the same folder as systemui.apk without overwriting the original.
Then check the permissions on the original file, rename the new one to the same as the original (which should vanish at this point leaving the new one) change the permissions to what they should be and reboot. Same method with the framework, if that doesn't work then it must be something you've edited. Did you save a copy of the original? If not I presume you would be able to extract one from a sense rom or an ruu.

I dont really get wat you mean. Where did you find the systemui and framework.apk or do you have another launcher? or also sense?
can you please be a bit more specific? thanks for the help though!
Sorry I was just using that as an example as there the files I was playing with last night. In your case it would be Rosie.apk instead of systemui.apk. I'm on cm7 nightlies btw.
Rename your new file to something other than Rosie.apk, then copy with root explorer into whichever folder Rosie.apk is in.
Rename it back to Rosie.apk and then change the permissions.

aaaaaaaaah in that way...
lets try...
You get me now, I think apk manager should've renamed it on compiling anyway to unsignedrosie.apk

unfortanatly that didn't work
I had Adw launcher installed so i dont have the blackscreen anymore. But everytime i try to copy and paste Rosie.apk tot system app wit R/W remount, using root explorer Rosie shutsdown and ADW takes over the homescreen.
So, i installed home switcher for froyo to see if Rosie is seen as a homelauncher but it doesn't
in short, after i changed Rosie.apk Sense won't recognize Rosie.apk as a launcher.
Could this be my problem? and how can i fix it? Do i need to sign it and how can i do that?
I used the following code:
adb pull /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
adb pull /system/app/Rosie.apk
apktool if com.htc.resources.apk
apktool d Rosie.apk
-- edited Androidmanifest.xml (nosensor replaced by sensor)
apktool build Rosie
Put Rosie.apk from the Dist-folder on my sd card
Copy and paste it to System/app with R/W on using root explorer
Sorry mate, only other thing I can think of is to push it back with adb/apk manager see if that works, try signing it see if that works, play around a bit. I'm not too sure now as I haven't used sense for a while.

thank you! i already tried to push with adb and apkmanager, no luck either. The only thing i can do within my knowledge is signing after i figured out how...
thanks!
Maybe somebody else can help me?
Landcape Rosie doesn't work for Sense 1.0. It was developed for 2.1+ with the release of the Evo Shift 4G. The Thunderbolt is also Sense 2.1. If you want landscape rosie, I would suggest using a sense 2.1/3.0 rom. If your device has none, I would suggest asking a developer for porting help. I might be able to port it, but I don't have very much experience porting...
Thanks.. soon we will have sense 2.1 with gb 2,3,3. User vigidroid and nrk1983 is fixing this.. (senseonfire) as an extra feature vigidroid will try landscape support. Perhaps you can helo them for some fixes?

You know sense 3.0 mms app better than 2.x. Is there any way to install it on stock rom without flashing a custom rom?
You will need to have ADB installed on your computer.
If you don't already, look for a guide. I recommend you install it like this. "C:/Android"
Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled.
Place the file I provided into the folder with ADB in it.
Start ADB using the path you used to install it.
Use this code.
Code:
adb remount
adb push Mms.apk /system/app/Mms.apk
That should work for you.

Since you have a stock rom, yes, you definitely have to !

nope you dont need, with a root enabled file explorer go to /system/app and delete mms.odex, if it doesnt work go to recovery and wipe dalvik, if it also doesnt work, i attached odexed version of mms.apk, extract my attached file into your sd card, copy them to /system/app and set permissions to -rw -r -r, and it should work.
question
is there a way to get the sense 3.0 mms app on CM7 by any chance?

If on a deodexed rom then replace sense 2.1 mms app with sense 3.0 mms app. Set permissions r-w-rr or 644. Perform a reboot for changes to take place.
If on an odexed rom delete both Mms.apk and Mms.odex. Add the new Mms.apk and set permissions. Perform a reboot for changes to take place.

That's perfectly fine. I was green too. In certain areas I'm still green. Just delete Mms.odex. Replace Mms.apk with sense 3.0 one. Set permissions and reboot.
I rooted my phone following this thread for 4.04 successfully, but I accidentally deleted the system clock app while trying to get rid of the bloatwares. (I think it's called clock 1.0 in root uninstaller)
I checked the system/app folder and I have a file called "clockPackage,odex", but I don't have the "clockPackage.apk" file. Is that the file I need to get the default system clock app back? If yes can someone please upload it for me? otherwise what do I need to do to get it back?
Thanks in advance!
Just open up the rom you have wherever its saved extract the clock.apk. Then copy and paste it to system/app with the same permissions as the other apps r-w-r-r or 644 and root. Then reboot when it boots back up go to app drawer and you will see the clock app again.

thanks for the reply! sorry for my noobiness, but which file is the rom and how do I extract it? I looked through the unzipped files I used for rooting and didn't find any apk files
If you are rooted get root explorer to open the zipped rom then extract it to sd card then copy and paste like i said.
